I love black and white photography, science fiction films, and Loud angsty music (sometimes). Usually I'm the chatty person at parties. Pretty eclectic with occasionally a dry sense of humour and an appetite for learning new things, I'm always up for talking about movies, photography, music, politics.

I'm in the process of moving back home while I travel so Don't have any details yet about my hosting space back In New Zealand! but I will update as soon as I have a place to live back home!!! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I worked in New Zealand on films. My work lead to London so i've been here on an off for the last year but now I'm moving back home. I'm taking about two months and spending them wandering Europe and the states, no real plans on destinations yet but am looking to meet cool locals who can show me interesting things so I don't end up drinking with a bunch of backpackers at the hostel bars every night.

My rough plan includes Netherlands, Germany (berlin,hamburg), Spain, Romania, Hungary, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark. Iceland 3/8 - 6/8 , New York 6/8 - 11/8, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco Probably gonna be pretty flexible but just
